Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Current terahertz imagers rely on reflector systems for the beam quality and imaging speed because the cross-range span that the system can cover is limited by the beam aberrations when the antenna scans. We present the design of a Bifocal reflector system that can rapidly scan a terahertz beam for standoff imaging applications while increasing the field of view of previous designs up to 50%. The design is based in a confocal Gregorian system where the nominal reflector surfaces are substituted by shaped surfaces to reduce the beam aberrations, while not increasing the manufacture cost of the reflector antenna. We also provide a set of useful design formulas for the design of this kind of reflector systems. The beam patterns obtained by the proposed designs are numerically calculated with the commercial software GRASP and compared with those obtained with previous approaches to the same problem, showing the better performance of the proposed solution.

Are mobile money transfer costs too high?
Kenya's Central Bank Governor Njuguna Ndung'u recently urged the country's mobile money transfer (MMT) operators to reduce their transaction fees. According to the Governor, "There is no way one can send 50 Shilling at 35 Shillings". This translates into a seemingly exorbitant 70 percent fee for a small transaction equivalent to less than $1. Safaricom, the telecom operator that offers M-Pesa service (a highly successful Kenyan venture with more than 13 million clients), and other Kenyan MMT operators, however, maintained that the services they provide represent value for money. So are mobile money transfer costs too high?
Before we answer this question, it's worth pointing out that even if mobile money transfer costs are fixed, average costs expressed as a share of the amount sent can rise if the average size of transactions falls. That is what happened with M-Pesa. M-Pesa charges a fixed fee per transaction within pre-specified fee brackets (see tariff poster). As the use of M-Pesa spread, Kenyans started using it for smaller and smaller transactions. The average amount sent through M-Pesa declined from the equivalent of about $50 in March 2007 to less than $30 by March 2009. The fees charged by M-Pesa, including withdrawal charges, expressed as a share of the average amount, rose correspondingly until mid-2008 (see chart). Because the average transaction size fell to the lowest fixed fee bracket in mid-2008, there was a downward jump in the fee. Then average costs rose again up until March 2009.

|Hi, can you help please? All was ok on my blog until about a month ago. Now I can still edit posts and make new posts, BUT I can't look at stats anymore, and though I click on dashboard it doesn't give me that drop down list with stats, comments, layout, templates etc. I can't change any of the template boxes or messages in them.
I started the blog when I was diagnosed with cancer and it's become really important to me.
I'd be very grateful for any help
Many thanks

I have emailed you three times now--twice here and once through your "contact" function--to obtain help with gaining back the administrator role on our blog--and have heard nothing back from you. Even if you don't know how to fix the issue I emailed about, could you please email me back and say so, so I don't continue to contact you? I would appreciate the courtesy.

|A MacBook owner, British-born, in my 80s and living in New York City. Have had a blog for a couple years but have never really known how to organize it and find my way around. As a result it's shamefully chaotic and frustrating.
A good example exists in the "Welcome to PChuck's Network." I couldn't see "Search Blog" or the Navbar, or any "Contents" or "Topics" or, indeed, a sidebar. How do I get to a page in which I'll find these?
If I can't educate myself soon, I'll have to give it up. It's important to me because I need it, plus Facebook, Twitter and other new media for promotion of a couple of novels I hope to publish in coming year.

|Hello NiteCruzr,
I used to have a blog "finestspirits.blogspot.com" opened using the mail id firstname.lastname@example.com!!
After that I transferred it to mail id firstname.lastname@example.com (both the mail id's are mine)!
After that, I deleted the finestspirits google account completely. I intend to recover the same now as I have sponsors for the blog!!
firstname.lastname@example.com is no longer associated with the blog when I deleted the account!!
Can I now get back the account (no easy way .. for I checked your posts, the forums and such) or at-least get the address finestspirits.blogspot.com. if yes, kindly let me know how and I shall be ever greatful!!
with warm regads

|Hi Nitecruzr,
I was active on blogger forum.but not anymore because i hate its new interface. I was level 4 on Blogger forum :P
Anyways, i am facing one weird problem with my comments. i had deactivated default comments & was using disqus. Now i want to use the blogger comments again.
when i have set to show comments & in embedded form.
I have allowed anyone to comment from the general comments settings. Still, by default it shows "Don't allow, hide existing" in every post.
So, if i want to show blogger comments, i will have to go manually add this setting to every post. That's headache.
There has to be a setting which will make it default for all the post.
for the time being,i have enabled comments manually for only few posts so if you can comment & test on the 1st post you see.
Please let me know if there is any way to reset the settings to DEFAULT blogger setting so that i don't need to go n allow comments for every post.

I got it as a tablet and I was hoping to use it as a tablet.
I speak 2 languages well and 80% of the time I read and POST on foreign websites different from English.
Nook supports English keyboard only. That was very surprising.
Another surprise: they have a lot of foreign books in their store, but you simply can't look for them as there's no keyboard for writing the name of the book down to do a search.
Another thing is every time I am trying to install some "free android application" like facebook, etc it says it can't be installed. Nook mainly supports nook store and that's pretty much it. I 've heard you can root it somehow if you are a computer guru, but I am not interested in that, I just want a tablet I've paid for that works as a tablet without spending long hours trying to install the features that are installed on all free phones nowadays and which doesn't block my access to everything that is normally free and reacheable on most other devices. Just get a cheap reader for $80.
I bought the Nook Tablet a little over 2 weeks ago. I was a little concerned that I might not catch on too quickly. No need to worry. I have wi-fi at home. The Nook pretty much found the wi-fi and set itself up. The whole set-up took less than 10 minutes. I've been using it every day since. It does everything that it is supposed to. I set it up with 2 different e-mail providers. That works fine. Whenever you get an e-mail, there is a little notification in the lower left corner. I've bought a couple of apps, which are working great. One is Accu-weather, which is really good. Another is Smithsonian channel which has a lot of shows. The picture is superb no matter what you're looking at. I've bought a couple of books and a magazine. It is a great e-reader. I've put in a 16 gb micro-sd card and transferred some music and photos. Everything works fine. The sound is much better if you use earphones, but it is o.k. without. The only mystery left to solve is how to turn the music off. I usually just pause it, and that works okay. Navigation is very easy. I am 71 years old and have had no problems. I would recommend you download the book; Nook Tablet for Dummies right to your Nook. It was very instructive. To close, I would highly recommend this Nook Tablet to everyone.
I debated over a Kindle and a Nook and the Nook won out. After reading comparison reviews of the two, the Nook usually wins out. I am very happy with my purchase. My granddaughter probably uses it more then me with the games and books I have downloaded for her. I love to be able to surf the web, read a book, check email, weather, news and so much more. Bought one for my sister as a gift and she loves it. Now we can share our books with each other as well with the LendMe feature. If I were to buy another tablet, it would an upgraded Nook! :-) Irish*
I was debating between this and the Kindle Fire. A friend has the Fire so I got to try it. Then I tried the Nook Tablet. No comparison. The Nook had a more vivid graphic screen. It felt lighter and I could navigate very easily. I have had it now for a couple weeks and I am in love with it. It charges up easily, and quickly, has plenty of free apps, like over 300 and books by the thousands. What I liked the most was I can take it to the nearest Barnes & Noble to get in person customer service. They showed me a few tips and tricks that made the experience even better. No waiting on the phone for customer service like with the Kindle.
I would recommend this to everyone!
I have had my Nook for about 3 weeks now and its an awesome tool for surfing the internet, playing games, listening to music and viewing downloaded photos. Easy to handle. I am not a big book reader but its great for those avid book readers. My home computer crashed so I decided to purchase a tablet and since my kids are book readers, I thought it would benefit all of us. Battery life is great and Barnes and Noble has a wide variety of apps to download to your Nook, very few are free but fees arent that bad either. The downloads happen at a pretty good speed.
Being from Canada, I needed an eReader that will work with our public libraries. Therefore, I took a look at the list of eReaders compatible with the eBooks at my local library. Barnes & Noble Nook is compatible. It is great for reading eBooks, but very poor when reading magazines. Magazines are too large to fit on the 7" screen. Therefore, I had to scroll around the page to look at the different parts of the magazine. Downloaded books are not visible in the library tab on the Nook. Therefore, I have to do a search for the book in the Nook in order to find it. Doing a search for the author is enough. The only drawback I can see is the EPUB software. It took me a while to figure out how to get eBooks onto the Nook. Books must be transferred from a computer to the Nook. Transferring books through the Nook's Wi-Fi will not work. Therefore, understanding how to use Adobe's Digital Editions software on the computer will make reading eBooks more enjoyable. Wi-Fi works as expected. The number of apps is not as large as Apple's. Furthermore, apps must be purchased from the B&N store. There are probably ways to get other Android apps working on the Nook, but I have not done this since I use it primarily to read eBooks and newspapers online.
The B&N Nook Tablet is a very good buy for those whose budgets are too high at the moment for the iPad. It does a lot of things I like to do and is convenient for reading and checking e-mails when you have to. Its simply amazing how all of these gadgets have become a part of our daily lives. This one is not only convenient, but not as costly.
I mostly wanted to read and didn't want to spend a lot of money so I chose the Nook Tablet. I am very satisfied. The display/touch screen is excellent. It has apps that are comparable in type but not in quantity as the iPad. I was disappointed that I can't download apps from the Android Market.
Since getting the Nook Tablet, my children have rarely put it down. We (cheaply and easily) downloaded several apps, including many educational games. My daughter is actually excited about learning her math facts now! In addition to purchasing ebooks from Barnes & Noble, we are also able to download books for free from our local library. A couple of the points to consider: the battery is replacable, and you can supplement the memory with the addition of a memory card. We are very happy with this purchase . . . it was money well spent.
Buy this nook tablet is alot cheaper than a ipad. I can do anything on here besides reading books. I love that Ican change wallpapers all the time. Nook books n apps are easy to buy and download.
I would recommend that all users install a screen protector before using as the screen will scratch easily w/o one. Also recommend purchasing a "book style" outer cover as it helps balance the ereader will lying and reading. Over all its an excellent purchase.
I bought this as a gift for my Dad and he loves it. He suffered a horrible illness in June and can't get to the book store as much as he would like so his Nook helps him keep in touch with the latest and greatest books that Barnes and Noble has to offer.
I recieved my Nook as a Christmas gift from my in-laws. My main reason for wanting one was for work purposes so I wouldn't have to carry my laptop to work everyday and around the building (I already have a office desktop also#. I love that I can save pdf files and read them later whenever I need too. I also like how easy it is to organize my files so I can take em home with me without sorting folders of paper every morning and night. I wish I could access google play though because the app selection is lacking big time. There are some good apps but when it comes to entertainment selection I'm usually out of luck. Still its a great tool for reading books and documents while also surfing the web with decent ease #sometimes I can even watch ESPN3 which is nice because my wife may control the TV remote). It has been a great gift but I need to upgrade my phone I guess to get better apps access.
This is a great tablet, but sometimes the android browser shuts down for no reason. Barnes & Noble has it preloaded with a bunch of stuff that can't be deleted and the libraries do not carry a large variety of e-books at this time, so you either have to buy books from B&N along with any APPS for games, but it is a good value for the money. I think a person should compare the Nook with the Kindle HD before buying one.
I could not have chosen a better anniversary gift for my wife! She was so excited to receive her new Nook! The product works very well and has been fairly simple to use. My wife is still finding neat features and uses with this reader. We have found it is basically a reader on steroids that has not only the features of a quality reader, but also the convenience of internet access. If you are looking for a net-book? I would highly recommend this one!
This tablet is meant to be used purely as a retail interface for Barnes and Noble and has little to no use or utility across the broad market of downloadable electronic media and online materials. I bought my Tablet at full retail of $259 about 9 months ago when model was first introduced. Hindsight now tells me that I should have waited or purchased one of the newer Android systems not associated with a retailer like Barnes and Noble. I am now stuck with an expensive little dinosaur with little to no chance of being being expanded or used in a broad manner outside of Barnes and Noble material. Not a good situation to be in. Plus, the USB cord is very weak for the size and weight of this unit. Prepare to replace it often if your kids use the thing.
Probably the best touchscreen tablet PC on the market today for the dollar. If you need a camera, then go ahead and spend $200+ for the expensive unit. This one is easy to use and very, very clear screen definition.
I've seen them all and the touchscreen tablet PC Nook is the best buy in my opinion.
Love, love, love my nook! Easy to use~ lots of options!
I bought this item as a gift for my wife, and she is has enjoyed it. It was has simply been worth every penny I've spent.
WAAAAY Better than the Amazon Kindle

World Wetlands Day celebrations remain a permanent fixture on the annual BirdLife South Africa (BLSA) calendar of events and this year BirdLife South Africa staff teamed up in different parts of the country to celebrate World Wetlands Day (WWD) 2012. The Conservation team (represented by Hanneline Smit and David Maphisa) celebrated the day at the Ingula site near Van Reenen where Eskom is building the Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme. As part of the World Wetlands Day celebrations, an evening programme was hosted by the Ingula Partnership at the Ladysmith High School where Hanneline Smit in her welcoming speech, expanded on the conservation focus through the Ingula Partnership. David hereafter entertained the pupils with a talk on wetland conservation. It was encouraging to share in the participation of the Ladysmith School pupils, through submissions of photos and poetry to a creative competition "Conservation – good and bad aspects". The World Wetlands Day celebration was ended with a Wetlands walk at the Ingula upper site on Saturday 4 February, in which more than 110 people participated including the pupils from the Ladysmith High School and the local community of Van Reenen. The school pupils had a good time and learnt about their surrounding environment. BirdLife South Africa recently developed a Tourism Plan for the Mpumalanga Lakes District in Chrissiesmeer (Mpumalanga) and this presented an excellent platform for the WWD 2012 activities in the Chrissie Pans IBA. BirdLife South Africa (represented by Charmaine Uys), the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and Working for Wetlands: Eastern Wetlands Rehabilitation (EWR) organized the day's events. First they visited Njomane Primary School, where they gave a talk on the value of wetlands, sang a song about water, showed the learners some water invertebrates from Lake Chrissie, and handed out old issues of Africa Birds & Birding magazines. The joy and excitement from these kids was moving and made the team's efforts worthwhile! They then spent the afternoon with the EcoClub learners from Lake Chrissie Secondary School. Again they spoke about WWD, wetland values and conservation. EWR gave an inspiring talk on rehabilitation methods and job opportunities in wetland rehabilitation. They then all walked down to the KwaChibikhulu township wetland, where they did a mini South African Scoring System (mini-SASS) wetland health evaluation, seeing what little creatures live in the wetland compared to Lake Chrissie. This was a valuable practical lesson for the learners, relevant to their life sciences curriculum. After a litter clean-up in the wetland, they ended with lunch and a quiz (to reinforce important lessons for WWD). Thanks to Working for Wetlands for sponsoring hotdogs and cold drinks. The World Wetlands Day events in Chrissiesmeer were proudly sponsored by AECID. World Wetlands Day has been commemorated on 2 February every year since 1997. The global theme for 2012 is Wetlands and Tourism. This theme is linked to the broader theme for the Ramsar Convention's 11th Conference of the Parties (COP 11), which is Wetlands, Tourism and Recreation. COP 11 will take place in June 2012 in Romania. We have witnessed how wetland tourism benefits people and wildlife in this country. Wetland tourism has not only created a stronger economy for our country, but has led to the promotion of sustainable livelihoods and thriving ecosystems. Tourism needs to be managed carefully in order to ensure that impacts from tourism do not jeopardize the very resources that tourists are coming to see. To date, the Ramsar Convention has not placed any specific focus on wetlands and tourism and with the upcoming Conference of Parties 11; the time has come to turn our attention to this important issue.

Harriman City Councilman J.D. Sampson loyally attends city meetings.
He's so passionate about the city he serves that he won't shop elsewhere, and he often playfully chides officials for shopping at Walmart, the retail giant that left Harriman for Rockwood years ago.
His loyalty, though noble, may mean little if he doesn't
pay back taxes owed to the county.
And it could cost him his council seat, because Harriman's City Charter limitations on eligibility for sitting on City Council include not owing delinquent city or county taxes.
"Right now my business is just about at rock bottom," Sampson said Friday. "I've got just enough to keep what help I got, pay the mortgage and keep the lights on.
"It really hurts me I'm behind on them," he added.
Roane County tax records on Friday showed Sampson owes $4,192 in 2012 property taxes on three properties he owns.
That amount includes interest, which Roane County Trustee office clerks say increases by 1.5 percent each month after the February due date.
"It is just something I cannot help," he said. "I'd like to run for council next year, but if I don't have my taxes paid, I won't," Sampson said.
"I will pay them when things pick up."
Sampson is not the first city official — or even the first candidate for city office — to come under question for owing taxes.
In recent years, Harriman Mayor Chris Mason was questioned for a tax issue he said was resolved because it was agreed when he sold his Margrave Street property that the taxes fell to the new owner.
Records also showed former fire chief Wayne Best, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor and made a later a council bid, once owed back taxes.
Harriman City Attorney Harold Balcom said at the time that any elected officials would have to have their tax issues remedied before being sworn into office.

Electrical problem
2003 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Automatic 86000 miles
My power windows quit working about a week ago (after shutting off and restarting they worked again). The next day they were out again and have been since. All fuses and relays are good. I dont believe it is a switch problem because all 4 switches are not working. Could it be a switch?

ART REVIEW; Nature Caressed by a Hummingbird
Published: March 13, 2000
(Page 2 of 2)
But for all his changes of address, he moved slowly as an artist and sometimes did not seem to move at all. Whether to please clients or to satisfy some inner urge, he painted his chosen motifs again and again, often with very little variation and sometimes with rotelike results. He was especially devoted to the salt marsh landscape, painting his first in 1859 and his last in 1904. (The catalogue raisonne reproduces more than 80.) But it is the birds and flowers that account for nearly half the catalog's 619 paintings.
The exhibition, which runs through May 7, proceeds in clear-cut chapters, with one subject to a gallery, beginning with the marine paintings and ending with the magnolia still lifes. As it progresses, it gets weirder and weirder. With all the hummingbirds flirting with one another and buzzing about their nests and the implicitly female flowers, it's hard not to think of procreation, and not just for the survival of the species. By the final gallery the reclining magnolia blossoms, whose petals fall this way and that, seem to exude an aura of postcoital dishabille.
But to a great extent the real tension in Heade's work is spatial. Each new subject inspired a markedly different treatment of pictorial space, one that was usually smaller, clearer or more confined than its predecessor.
The layered space and bands of color of ''Approaching Thunderstorm,'' with its suggestion of miniaturization and its contrast of far and further, was a sign of things to come. In the marshland paintings Heade carefully takes the measure of illusionistic space, marking off perfectly flat fields with neatly conical haystacks as if placing rooks on a chessboard. And miniature becomes almost microscopic: we see these images as if through the wrong end of a telescope. The men harvesting the hay are so far away they register as tiny dots of red and sometimes yellow.
The red shirt, whether small, as in the marine paintings, or infinitesimal, as in the salt marsh landscapes, almost amounts to a Heade signature.
With his hummingbird paintings, which began to proliferate after his trip to Brazil in 1863-64, Heade brings the dots of color forward as brilliantly colored and plumed birds, setting up a dramatic contrast of near and far. The birds are depicted up close, at actual size and in earnest detail. (They sometimes seem stuck to the surfaces, like decals.)
Behind them is a misty Andean Eden, where the earth, when visible at all, presents a steep diagonal. When the hummingbirds are joined by the big passionflowers and orchids, the images become more real and the painting more windowlike than ever. The tour de force in this series -- and nearly as good as ''Approaching Thunderstorm'' -- is a horizontal painting that depicts 10 different species of hummingbird darting in and out of a network of vines and bright red flowers that suggest a decorative grille. (It can make you think of such contemporary decorative naturalists as Philip Taaffe and Fred Tomaselli.)
Finally in the paintings of magnolia blossoms, Heade dispenses with pretense: space itself has become actual size. It is completely closed off, velvet lined, a little coffin, which turns the big white flowers from postcoital to embalmed.
The progression toward claustrophobic space is perhaps forced by the installation of this show, which obscures the fact that Heade worked on most of his subjects throughout his life. But it's clear that he tended, with each new motif, toward contraction, elimination and control. In the end the contained, finite volume, so transfixingly hinted at in ''Approaching Thunderstorm,'' is made real. Between the adored exotic birds, the boxlike space and the prevailing aura of innocence and obsession, you may leave this show feeling that you have met the Joseph Cornell of the 19th century.
Photos: A Martin Johnson Heade retrospective, at the National Gallery of Art in Washington through May 7, is the first major survey of his work in 30 years and only the second ever assembled. Among the works in the exhibition are ''Tropical Landscape with 10 Hummingbirds'' (1870), above, and ''Approaching Thunderstorm'' (1859) right. (Photographs from Museum of Fine Arts Boston)(pg. E1); A detail from Heade's ''Orchid and Hummingbirds Near a Mountain Lake,'' at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. (Museum of Fine Arts Boston)(pg. E5)

Among the many weaknesses of contemporary medical education, the worst may be inadequacies in the teaching of history-taking, of skills in dialogue in clinical encounters, and of the effect communicating of medical information to patients. This problem is being attacked by many teachers in general internal medicine, notably members of the Society of General Medicine, and several good texts have already come from them. Stewart and Roter's text speaks more to teachers of medical communication than to students, residents, and physicians. But any clinician wishing to improve his or her skills in developing the self-awareness needed for effective communication, in

College of Arts and Sciences Convenes Its Faculty/Staff Retreat
Dr. Fernando Arzola, Jr., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Nyack College, (above) will host the 2014 Arts and Science retreat for faculty and staff on Friday, August 22 from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on the Rockland County campus in Shuman Hall.
Rev. Br. Randy Greve, director of associates at Holy Cross Monastery, will be the guest speaker. "Benedictine Archetypes of the Christian Life: Child, Workers, Warrior, Athlete, Student" is the theme of the daylong pre-academic year gathering.
In "The Prologue" of The Rule of St. Benedict, Benedict provides rich imagery in what it means to be a Christian called to monastic life. Using "The Prologue," faculty will reflect on what it means to be in relationship with God as a child, worker, warrior, athlete, and student. The biblical inspiration of these metaphors and their meaning and expression in our lives will be explored.

Adding members to groups
Adding members to groups
In our last movie, we created a handful of Blackboard groups, student groups that are sort of private to these students. Certain numbers of students are in each group and within the groups the students can send email, they can do a discussion board, they can exchange files. But let's say I want to change the membership of a particular group. I want to add somebody to a group or remove somebody from a group. How do I do that? Well, I am here on the Groups page. I did it by clicking on the Groups link here in the course menu. I could also go down under Users and Groups and click on Groups to get to the exact same page.
What I want to do is add Jayden Brown to a particular group. I'm going to add him to Study Group 2. So what I'm going to do now is click on Edit. As I scroll down, it's going to show me a list of the people who are currently enrolled in this particular group and if I want to add Jayden Brown to a group, I just click his name and move him over. That's all the...

Following shows the minimal metabolic network that was required in the first supposed last universal common ancestor. Consider that this extremely complex network could not emerge through evolution, since evolution depends that this very own metabolic network was fully operational, beside dna replication, on which evolution depends.
So the only two mechanisms that remain to explain its origin is chance/luck/self organisation, or physical necessity. We know of intelligence being able to construct electric circuits all the time. We do not know of lucky accidents with the same capacity. We can infer therefore confidently, that the metabolic network to create the first living cell was designed.
Understanding complex signaling networks through models and metaphors 1
The operation of analog electronic devices maps very closely to the flowof information in chemical reactions (McAdams and Shapiro, 1995).
The buildup of charge, for example, is analogous to the accumulation of a particular molecule. Amplifiers, like enzymes, permit a small charge (or molecular concentration) to have a large effect on another. The identity of signals in an electronic circuit is maintained by distinct, insulated wires. In signaling circuits this identity is maintained by the fact that distinct molecules convey different signals. Even at a mathematical level, the equations describing equilibration of charge and amplifier function can faithfully mimic the equations describing chemical reactions.
The Enzymatic and Metabolic Capabilities of Early Life 2
We reconstruct a representative metabolic network that may reflect the core metabolism of early life forms. Our results show that ten enzyme functions, four hydrolases, three transferases, one oxidoreductase, one lyase, and one ligase, are determined by metaconsensus to be present at least as late as the last universal common ancestor. Subnetworks within central metabolic processes related to sugar and starch metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, phospholipid metabolism, and CoA biosynthesis, have high frequencies of these enzyme functions.]]>
Problem no.1
The genetic code system ( language ) must be created, and the universal code is nearly optimal and maximally efficient
The genetic language is a collection of rules and regularities of genetic information coding for genetic texts. It is defined by alphabet, grammar, collection of punctuation marks and regulatory sites, semantics.
In our opinion, despite extensive and, in many cases, elaborate attempts to model code optimization, ingenious theorizing along the lines of the coevolution theory, and considerable experimentation, very little definitive progress has been made.
Summarizing the state of the art in the study of the code evolution, we cannot escape considerable skepticism. It seems that the two-pronged fundamental question: "why is the genetic code the way it is and how did it come to be?", that was asked over 50 years ago, at the dawn of molecular biology, might remain pertinent even in another 50 years. Our consolation is that we cannot think of a more fundamental problem in biology.
The genetic code is one in a million
if we employ weightings to allow for biases in translation, then only 1 in every million random alternative codes generated is more efficient than the natural code. We thus conclude not only that the natural genetic code is extremely efficient at minimizing the effects of errors, but also that its structure reflects biases in these errors, as might be expected were the code the product of selection.
Problem no.2
The origin of the information to make the first living cells must be explained.
Determination of the Core of a Minimal Bacterial Gene Set Based on the conjoint analysis of several computational and experimental strategies designed to define the minimal set of protein-coding genes that are necessary to maintain a functional bacterial cell, we propose a minimal gene set composed of 206 genes ( which code for 13 protein complexes ) Such a gene set will be able to sustain the main vital functions of a hypothetical simplest bacterial cell with the following features.
These protein complexes could not emerge through evolution ( muations and natural selection ) , because evolution depends on the dna replication, which requires precisely these original genes and proteins ( chicken and egg prolem ). So the only mechanism left is chance, and physical necessity.
Paul Davies once said;
How did stupid atoms spontaneously write their own software … ? Nobody knows … … there is no known law of physics able to create information from nothing.
Genomic DNA is already used on Earth to store non-biological information. Though smaller in capacity, but stronger in noise immunity is the genetic code. The code is a flexible mapping between codons and amino acids, and this flexibility allows modifying the code artificially. But once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales; in fact, it is the most durable construct known. Therefore it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligent signature, if that conforms to biological and thermodynamic requirements. As the actual scenario for the origin of terrestrial life is far from being settled, the proposal that it might have been seeded intentionally cannot be ruled out.
DNA sequences that code for proteins need to convey, in addition to the protein-coding information, several different signals at the same time. These "parallel codes" include binding sequences for regulatory and structural proteins, signals for splicing, and RNA secondary structure. Here, we show that the universal genetic code can efficiently carry arbitrary parallel codes much better than the vast majority of other possible genetic codes. This property is related to the identity of the stop codons. We find that the ability to support parallel codes is strongly tied to another useful property of the genetic code—minimization of the effects of frame-shift translation errors. Whereas many of the known regulatory codes reside in nontranslated regions of the genome, the present findings suggest that protein-coding regions can readily carry abundant additional information.
Problem no.3
The genetic cipher
The British biologist John Maynard Smith has described the origin of the code as the most perplexing problem in evolutionary biology. With collaborator Eörs Szathmáry he writes: "The existing translational machinery is at the same time so complex, so universal, and so essential that it is hard to see how it could have come into existence, or how life could have existed without it." To get some idea of why the code is such an enigma, consider whether there is anything special about the numbers involved. Why does life use twenty amino acids and four nucleotide bases? It would be far simpler to employ, say, sixteen amino acids and package the four bases into doublets rather than triplets. Easier still would be to have just two bases and use a binary code, like a computer. If a simpler system had evolved, it is hard to see how the more complicated triplet code would ever take over. The answer could be a case of "It was a good idea at the time." A good idea of whom ? If the code evolved at a very early stage in the history of life, perhaps even during its prebiotic phase, the numbers four and twenty may have been the best way to go for chemical reasons relevant at that stage. Life simply got stuck with these numbers thereafter, their original purpose lost. Or perhaps the use of four and twenty is the optimum way to do it. There is an advantage in life's employing many varieties of amino acid, because they can be strung together in more ways to offer a wider selection of proteins. But there is also a price: with increasing numbers of amino acids, the risk of translation errors grows. With too many amino acids around, there would be a greater likelihood that the wrong one would be hooked onto the protein chain. So maybe twenty is a good compromise. Do random chemical reactions have knowledge to arrive at a optimal conclusion, or a " good compromise" ?
An even tougher problem concerns the coding assignments—i.e., which triplets code for which amino acids. How did these designations come about? Because nucleic-acid bases and amino acids don't recognize each other directly, but have to deal via chemical intermediaries, there is no obvious reason why particular triplets should go with particular amino acids. Other translations are conceivable. Coded instructions are a good idea, but the actual code seems to be pretty arbitrary. Perhaps it is simply a frozen accident, a random choice that just locked itself in, with no deeper significance.
That frozen accident means, that good old luck would have hit the jackpot trough trial and error amongst 1.5 × 1084 possible genetic codes . That is the number of atoms in the whole universe. That puts any real possibility of chance providing the feat out of question. Its , using Borel's law, in the realm of impossibility. The maximum time available for it to originate was estimated at 6.3 x 10^15 seconds. Natural selection would have to evaluate roughly 10^55 codes per second to find the one that's universal. Put simply, natural selection lacks the time necessary to find the universal genetic code.
Put it in other words : The task compares to invent two languages, two alphabets, and a translation system, and the information content of a book ( for example hamlet) being written in english translated to chinese in a extremely sophisticared hardware system. The conclusion that a intelligent designer had to setup the system follows not based on missing knowledge ( argument from ignorance ). We know that minds do invent languages, codes, translation systems, ciphers, and complex, specified information all the time. The genetic code and its translation system is best explained through the action of a intelligent designer.
in other words:
my argument does NOT GO like this:
The strawman claim:
1) Wow, the genetic code is AMAZING!!!
2) I have no idea where that came from!!!
3) Therefore,..... God!
ID and Biochemistry:
Observation: Intelligent agents solve complex problems by acting with an end goal in mind, producing high levels of CSI. In our experience, systems with large amounts of specified complexity—such as codes and languages—invariably originate from an intelligent source. Likewise, in our experience, intelligence is the only known cause of irreducibly complex machines.21
Hypothesis (Prediction): Natural structures will be found that contain many parts arranged in intricate patterns (including irreducible complexity) that perform a specific function—indicating high levels of CSI.
Experiment: Experimental investigations of DNA indicate that it is full of a CSI-rich, language-based code. Biologists have performed mutational sensitivity tests on proteins and determined that their amino acid sequences are highly specified.22 Additionally, genetic knockout experiments and other studies have shown that some molecular machines, like the flagellum, are irreducibly complex.23
Conclusion: The high levels of CSI—including irreducible complexity—in biochemical systems are best explained by the action of an intelligent agent.
Origin and evolution of the genetic code: the universal enigma
The genetic code is nearly optimal for allowing additional information within protein-coding sequences
The genetic code cannot arise through natural selection
The origin of the genetic cipher, the most perplexing problem in biology
1. Academia has a huge money problem
2. Too many studies are poorly designed
3. Replicating results is crucial — and rare
4. Peer review is broken
5. Too much science is locked behind paywalls
6. Science is poorly communicated
7. Life as a young academic is incredibly stressful
Conclusion: Science is not doomed
When haven't the above problems not been a problem for science? The article seems to be part bellyaching and part publicity for justifiable bellyaching.
Anecdotally, I met a Ph.D candidate in Physics from UC Berkeley and asked him if he is working on some ground-breaking research. His bored, terse reply what that all the big easy science has been done and most of what is left is hair-splitting stuff that few people understand and/or does little to advance science, which I took as a sort of diminishing returns answer. I take the student's answer along with the above cited article and find they compliment each other and that a little shaking up once in a while may keep minds and processes from ossifying.

You can't really do fully battery powered trucks - they would just have no range. But this system even allows for the onboard battery to be charged while driving, making stops for charging unnecessary. It's a powerful way to reduce carbon emissions.
And, most importantly, it will make sure that the trucks stay in their own bloody lane!
Hoffman is trying to merge several fields – evolutionary game theory, neuroscience and Quantum mechanics – and has apparently developed a mathematical model of consciousness.
I don't pretend to understand a great deal of this article, but what I do understand is fascinating; that our sense of everyday reality is an illusion and that consciousness is at the heart of whatever the ultimate reality might be.
Here are a few quotes which cover the basic ideas:
"…Donald D. Hoffman, a professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine. Hoffman has spent the past three decades studying perception, artificial intelligence, evolutionary game theory and the brain, and his conclusion is a dramatic one: The world presented to us by our perceptions is nothing like reality. What's more, he says, we have evolution itself to thank for this magnificent illusion, as it maximizes evolutionary fitness by driving truth to extinction."
"So while neuroscientists struggle to understand how there can be such a thing as a first-person reality, quantum physicists have to grapple with the mystery of how there can be anything but a first-person reality. In short, all roads lead back to the observer. And that's where you can find Hoffman — straddling the boundaries, attempting a mathematical model of the observer, trying to get at the reality behind the illusion."
"According to evolution by natural selection, an organism that sees reality as it is will never be more fit than an organism of equal complexity that sees none of reality but is just tuned to fitness. Never."
"Evolution has shaped us with perceptions that allow us to survive. They guide adaptive behaviors. But part of that involves hiding from us the stuff we don't need to know. And that's pretty much all of reality, whatever reality might be."
"If I see something that I think of as a snake, I don't pick it up. If I see a train, I don't step in front of it. … Snakes and trains, like the particles of physics, have no objective, observer-independent features. The snake I see is a description created by my sensory system to inform me of the fitness consequences of my actions. Evolution shapes acceptable solutions, not optimal ones. A snake is an acceptable solution to the problem of telling me how to act in a situation."
"I thought it might be possible to write down a formal structure for observation that encompassed all of them, perhaps all possible modes of observation. … A mathematical model of consciousness. Six elements. The claim is: This is the structure of consciousness."
"Objective reality is just conscious agents, just points of view. … This mathematics is telling me something. I can take two minds, and they can generate a new, unified single mind. … It suggests that I can take separate observers, put them together and create new observers, and keep doing this ad infinitum. It's conscious agents all the way down."
"The neuroscientists are saying, 'We don't need to invoke those kind of quantum processes, we don't need quantum wave functions collapsing inside neurons, we can just use classical physics to describe processes in the brain.' I'm emphasizing the larger lesson of quantum mechanics: Neurons, brains, space … these are just symbols we use, they're not real. It's not that there's a classical brain that does some quantum magic. It's that there's no brain! Quantum mechanics says that classical objects — including brains — don't exist."
"As a conscious realist, I am postulating conscious experiences as ontological primitives, the most basic ingredients of the world. I'm claiming that experiences are the real coin of the realm. The experiences of everyday life — my real feeling of a headache, my real taste of chocolate — that really is the ultimate nature of reality."
I found this more in depth talk by doctor Hoffman on Youtube. It's 45 minutes long. If you have the time, check it out.
Hoffman, like Sam Harris, is also a meditator. I think it would be interesting to have Sam interview Hoffman; they have a lot in common.]]>
I have been quite interested in the free will/determinism debate for some time. I have gradually been turned to accepting the concept of determinism and that free will is an illusion. Another interest I have is cosmology, and the concept of infinite universes fascinates me (although I'm having a difficult time working through all the ramifications). These two ideas, it seems, must be mutually exclusive. I had to go back and listen to the podcast with Max Tegmark to see if what seems to be a paradox is addressed, and it doesn't seem to be. Here's the problem I have.
According to at least one cosmological concept of infinite universes, one that Sam and Max discussed in the podcast, is that everything that can happen will happen. However, determinism says we have no free will to make alternate decisions. If I am going to turn right at the next corner, there can't be a "me" that turns left. All I could have done is turn right since that "choice" was genetically or environmentally determined. Ergo, no alternative action could be made that could have created another universe.
I will admit that this idea invaded my brain just today, so it has not been completely thought through. I would welcome comment the see what I might be missing.
